East Village Lounge Opening Carroll Gardens Spin-off

The Bourgeois Pig, a Manhattan bar and restaurant known for its fondue, is opening a Brooklyn location on the corner of Court Street and 1st Place this week. Early reports on the lounge said it’s slated to have a “daily changing fondue menu” and “a cocktail list emphasizing Continental spirits.” Click through for shot of the interior, which was looking ready for prime time as of yesterday. The location in question is part of the Scotto Funeral Home building, and it was most recently occupied by a short-lived wine bar after the video store that had been in the storefront for nearly two decades shuttered.
